> Look at real estate listings in many smaller Midwest cities and you’ll see large inventories of very nice, very affordable homes. Older people are moving out but no one is there to buy them. Not in my small Midwest city. Many houses are being sold in hours. Most of the time I see a new realtor, it is already sale pending. I have little doubt houses are being sold without being put on the market. There are realtors asking around my neighborhood if anyone is looking to sell because they have buyers interested in the area.
